The two toggles called "Consent" and "Legitimate interest" is one of the most jarring things I've seen since GDPR came out. Those are legal basis for processing data, they're not supposed to shown like that to the user, that just makes no sense.
User have to opt-in for processing activities that are based on consent, and be allowed to opt-out of processing activities that are based on legitimate interest, but to do that they must know what those processing activities are in the first place!
Edit: The more I think about it the more it makes my head hurt. What does a toggle just called "consent" mean? Am I opting in for "consent"? Why are they just writing "legitimate interest" without telling what is the interest and why it is legitimate? Complete nonsense
